On this Wednesday I am focusing on getting a new scene written that drives my protagonist to the edge of what they can handle. Calling all writers to join me and set a writing goal for yourself today.

William's worst fears came true. There was more than one #werewolf and they surprised the regiment. It was a trap. So many died. It is a complete disaster.

@maryrobinettekowal.com I completely agree. I use those tools to help organize my thoughts but the structure of the novel is always the characters themes and imagery. I have never remembered that a novel i loved was 3 or 5 acts. I remember emotions it made me feel. Scenes. Characters.

@seanmcarroll.bsky.social is the best science communicator of our time. I listen to every episode of the Mindscape podcast. They're all fascinating.

She knows too much. Sees too much. This woman scares William more than anyone he's ever met.

I just finished Marvel Zombies. I enjoyed it. What do ppl think?
Personally I liked all the zombie movie tropes in an animated setting. Plus #marvel heroes!
